QPR have made two enforced changes as they welcome Middlesbrough to Loftus Road in the Championship.

Darnell Furlong comes in for his first start under Steve McClaren, replacing Angel Rangel after the right-back limped off late on at Elland Road last weekend.

Geoff Cameron also suffered an injury in the defeat at Leeds, and Jordan Cousins – the man who stood in for the American during the recent 2-2 draw at Stoke – takes his place.

Tomer Hemed is also unavailable through injury, and that means a place on the bench for young forward Aramide Oteh. Paul Smyth and Ilias Chair also return to the matchday squad after impressing for the Under-23s this season.

Visitors Middlesbrough have the best defence in the Championship, conceding just 14 goals in their 21 games so far, but are without a win in their last three games.

Tony Pulis has made two changes from the team which drew 1-1 at home to Blackburn last weekend, with George Saville replacing the suspended Mo Besic, and Britt Assombalonga coming in for Ashley Fletcher after scoring the equaliser last time out.

Steve McClaren spent five years in charge of Middlesbrough at the start of the century, taking the club to the 2006 UEFA Cup final and winning the League Cup in 2004.
